Major public companies are letting a little more sunlight into their wallets, making more disclosures about their political spending on their websites and adding more board oversight to monitor it, according to a new study.

The report, released last month by the nonpartisan Center for Political Accountability and researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research, creates an index that ranks companies based on the disclosure, oversight and policies about their election-related spending. It found that 50 companies in the S&P 500 received scores of 90% or above, up from just 41 companies in 2016 and 28 in 2015.
